Letters Patent No. 101,386, dated March 29, 1870.

IMPROVED GAG-RUNNER. AND BUCKLIEL' The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent: and making part of the same To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SEVERIN Smuonn, of Syra cuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Combined Gag- Runner and Buckle; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the nature, construction, and operation of the same, sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to which the invention appertains. to fully understand and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are made part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device illustrating my invention.

tured, and render it capable of more satisfactory serv vice than those commonly employed.

' I cast the buckle A and gag-runner or swivel B by separate and distinct operations, and provide them with the counterparts of a hinge, respectively at the lower cross-bar of the buckle and the top of the runner, which will admit of the free vibration or pivotal motion of the gag-runner. I thus attach the gagrunner to the lower end bar of the buckle A, leaving the-center bar of the buckle free to hold the end of the throat-latch. The buckle attaches the gag-runner to and suspends it from the billet-strap of the headstall.

This mode of connection secures the untrammcled action of the swivel or gag-runnenas there is no strap or other object outside of or in a position to impede, v

the outward motion of said. gag-runner. Having thus described my invention, \Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A gag-runner and buckle, unit-ed together by a hinged'metallic joint at the lower cross-bar of the buckle and the top of the gag-runner, substantiallyas described.

The above signed by me this 23d day of February,
